Abdulla Mohamed Shadid, managing director Cargo and Logistics Services at Etihad Aviation Group said: “The renewed UAE Commercial organization will play a key role in fostering closer working relationships with the local forwarder community as well as the key global forwarders with a UAE presence, and providing a seamless and more efficient commercial approach for the local perishables traders such as flowers and meat importers, as well as key Government-affiliated industrial and services institutions.
